Trusted by professionals and DIY decorators alike, it is designed to provide a superior, long-lasting bond for all types of wall coverings, including heavyweight vinyls, embossed papers, textured designs, lining paper, and specialist decorative wall coverings.
What sets this adhesive apart is its robust formulation—engineered to withstand high humidity, heat fluctuations, and variable surface textures, making it especially well-suited for use in challenging environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and behind radiators.

Key Benefits & Features:
Super Strong Adhesion
Delivers a high-performance grip, ensuring wall coverings remain firmly attached to walls over time without peeling or lifting. This makes it ideal for heavier materials and surfaces that may otherwise be difficult to bond securely.
Ready Mixed Convenience
No water or mixing required—this product is ready straight from the tub, making it perfect for quick jobs, experienced decorators, or those new to wallpapering.
Enhanced Moisture Resistance
Formulated to perform in moist or humid conditions, such as kitchens and bathrooms, where standard adhesives may fail. Ideal for areas prone to steam, temperature fluctuations, and condensation.
Excellent Slip for Precise Positioning
Provides a smooth, workable surface that allows easy sliding and repositioning of wallpaper before final placement. The extended open time makes it easier to line up patterns, corners, or edges without rush.
Interior Versatility
Suitable for most common surfaces found in residential and commercial interiors—including plastered walls, drywall, painted surfaces, wood panelling, and lining paper.
Ideal for Professional Results
Delivers consistent, reliable performance, making it a favourite among decorators seeking high-quality, trade-grade results with every application.
Easy Application & Cleanup
Applies smoothly using a brush or roller, and any excess can be cleaned up with water while still wet. Reduces waste and eliminates the need for extensive aftercare or maintenance.

How to Use:
-
Surface Preparation:
Ensure wall surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, and old adhesive residues. For porous or absorbent walls, apply a coat of diluted adhesive as a primer (known as sizing) and allow to dry. -
Application:
Use a brush, roller, or pasting machine to apply adhesive evenly to the back of the wallpaper or directly to the wall if using paste-the-wall paper. For best results, apply generously to ensure proper bonding without air pockets. -
Wallpaper Hanging:
Position the wallpaper onto the wall and smooth out using a wallpaper brush or plastic smoother. Adjust as needed to align patterns or match seams. Remove any excess adhesive with a clean, damp cloth or sponge before it dries. -
Drying & Finishing:
Allow adequate time for adhesive to fully dry before painting or exposing to steam and humidity. Store unused adhesive in the original sealed container for future touch-ups.

- Hanging wallpaper in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, lounges, hallways, and utility rooms
